Pretty sure North Korea has equivalents to those ministries. Somalia is probably a closer approximation of where this is going.

Despite all its failings, North Korea has quite a high literacy rate. People be getting educated.

90% of the curriculum is probably Juche slogans, but hey, they’re getting educated. /s

They also don’t pay any taxes and get guaranteed jobs and free housing. Not all bad, considering how things are turning out for us out here…
